Haʻikū Mill is now offering outdoor private dinners where guests can enjoy “an expertly crafted, multi-course feast, delivered with impeccable service and set against the backdrop of the historic venue’s vine-draped ruins.”

The interactive experience is brought to life by one of Haʻikū Mill’s partner chefs, in collaboration with the venue. It consists of a selection of light appetizers, followed by a four-course menu featuring dishes comprised of sustainably sourced and local, in-season ingredients. Guests are welcome to bring their own wine to enjoy with dinner.

“With the increasing popularity of Maui’s north shore, visitors are flocking to the area in search of new and culturally-rich experiences,” said spokesperson Kimiko Hosaki. “Not only do our outdoor private dinners deliver just that, they offer a unique and immersive upscale alternative to the crowded hotel restaurants of the island’s south side.”

Venue representatives say “The experience of locally inspired dishes enjoyed at a property deeply rooted in Maui’s storied sugar history makes Haʻikū Mill’s private dinners an ideal option for everything from anniversary celebrations, to small corporate functions, to special occasions.”

The evening formally begins at 5 p.m.; however, guests are encouraged to arrive up to 30 minutes prior to wander and photograph the Mill’s 150-year-old, botanically diverse grounds. The experience concludes at 8 p.m.
